The cycle path takes you through the floodplains of the IJssel. A quiet area where you are one with the flourishing of the river. Water birds and boats are present here.

Old IJssel Lock (Doesburg)

Highlight • Structure

his lock complex was built in 1952.

The lock complex is one of the most important structures within the Rhine and IJssel Water Board. Although the majority of the complex is extremely modern, it contains elements of cultural-historical value.

The old lock can still be recognized from the ground floor.

The Gemaal De Liemers is one of the most important works of art within the water board. It was built in 1981 about a hundred meters from the place where the steam pumping station used to be.

The location has great historical value for the history of the Rijn en IJssel Water Board. The current pumping station is modern, but historical elements of the former steam pumping station have been preserved.
The land on which the steam pumping station was built was purchased from J.W. Harbers in Angerlo.

The Rhederlaag recreation area is a favorite area for many water sports enthusiasts thanks to the open connection with the IJssel. Also very suitable for a refreshing dive.

April 11, 2026,van De Steeg naar ‘de Ijsselkop’ Uitzichtpunt de Pley
A bike ride along many, really many beautiful spots that I have rarely or never been to before ……🤩 Turning point; Westervoort – De IJsselkop, the geographical name for the land point at the separation of the Rhine and IJssel south of Westervoort. Then also ending up at a memorial service….Quick Anger. Allied crossing from Westervoort April 12, 1945. 🪖🎖️

The weather was fantastic today ☀ and you could set off cycling in a t-shirt. My tour today starts in Arnhem 🇳🇱🚴. Then I passed the impressive Kasteel Rosendael, Biljoen and Middachten. Kasteel Rosendael is known for its beautiful gardens and impressive architecture. I have cycled past this castle several times on my tours. It is always a beautiful highlight …
